LibriVox recording of South African Folk-Tales by James A. Honeÿ.
Read in English by laurakgibbs;
James Albert Honeij (Honey) has collected a variety of South African folktales from previously published sources in English translation, to which he has also added some folktales translated from Afrikaans, along with some stories that he remembers hearing as a child. For a list of sources, see the back of the book; the list of sources is not included in this recording. There are San stories, along with Khoekhoe stories, as well as some stories from Bantu traditions of southern Africa. The focus is on animal stories, including many stories about the trickster jackal. - Summary by Laura Gibbs
